A laptop

Requirements

The choice for a laptop is not an easy one, give it some thought and spend your money wisely. The choice you make depends on your own preferences for home-use as well as for the use of the laptop at Buas. Our ICT department does the following recommendations:

Windows-based laptop

- Apple is not compatible with some programs that are used for educational purposes;- Chromebooks can only use web- or usb storage (not user friendly) and no additional programs can be installed to use some of the educational software;- Tablets have the same limitations as the Chromebooks.

Minimal specifications of the Windows laptop:

Processor: minimal i3. i5 or up is preferable.

Storage: SSD (faster and more reliable than normal drives), capacity depends on home-use wishes, 128 is bare-minimum, 256 or up gives you more storage options.

Size of the screen: is dependable on your own preference, 12”, easier to transport, 15” standard size most chosen, 17” game and movie machine but heavier to transport.

Video card: onboard video card is enough for office use, for gaming and movie-editing choose a laptop with an additional videocard with higher video capability.

Additional hardware, installed in the laptop:

- HDMI port for connecting to screens in classrooms for presentations;
- Number of USB-ports depends on your own preference, but at least 2;
- WiFi preferable: Intel chipset with AC support (best compatible Buas network).
